I have an Invidia 3" DP on my 05 MR and it doesn't clear anything!!! It hits my oil pan and both stock braces. I will be changing up to the WORKS 76mm DP soon I've seen them clear on my buddies MR. Any thought or coments from anyone one this?

I have the MR one on my IX it friggin rubs...kinda pisses me off i was told it would clear. I had the stock cat-back on and i got it to clear but then i put the rest of the exhaust on and it pulled it over to the right a bit so its rubbing now. I might be able to get it to clear by changing how its mounted the the exhaust hangers but idk.

Has anyone tried the XS Engineering DP on an ACD car? I'd like to know if it clears the bars and the diff. It is a nice looking piece, IMO.

you have an old version then - they all were redone earlier in 2006 and it clears all 05 + models perfectly

DC Sports, JIC, TurboXS, Invidia, Perrin, all will fit

I've got the Tannabe Concept G Blue and it doesnt rub anywhere.. loud as hell but clearance is good. I had a HKS carbon ti CB that rubbed the drive shaft and decided to go with a single vendor with a complete solution. Although it's loud at least it has no problems.. bummer that cat delete didnt come with an o2 bung (for wideband) although the DP looks like it had a EGT bung cap that was tack welded on and could probably be easily removed.

Are you talking about the Megan Racing? Or the same with the name plate removed?

I find this funny when Megan Racing are the people that buy the same Taiwan made pipes the ADD their badge to it.

Lets not pretend that Megan actually manufactures these pipes.

Look familiar?

That is exactly why I wont buy the TTP dp. It looks just like those eBay pipes.
